Also this is a sub 400 dollar laptop, which aren't known for blazing speed and booting up in seconds like you're expecting.

if the hard drive isn't a total piece of trash it'll boot in less then a minute
if it is trash that can't do 4kb reading better then a sd card it'll be about 2-3 minutes

not anywhere near 5 minutes.
this is on mediocre hardware too, i have a desktop decked out in a solid amd athlon x2 first generation, on a 320 GB HDD with 4gb of ram and topped off with the bios being incompatible with fast boot mode on windows 10.
it still boots in about a minute. this is nowhere near modern hardware.

i used to have this program i found for an hp i had that detected bloatware and removed it. can't remember what it was called though.

idk, just my 2 cents i guess

i'm not a social person. i would rather stay home and play games than hanging out at bars/whatever. that's why i want the laptop for gaming too-- it's portable.
